Copper colour with a slight haze. Hints of floral and citrusy hops along with toasty malt in the aroma. The strange yuzu taste of Horizon hops dominates the character of this beer, making it fruity and refreshing, but this hop character doesn’t really appeal to me personally. Fairly low bitterness for style. Good balance, just not to my taste.

(Draught) Pours a clear deep amber body with a tall dense cream head. Aroma of pineapple, citrus, and light pine. Flavor has a fairly complex hop profile (mango, pineapple, grapefruit, grass, herbal) combined with caramel malt for a dry, bitter finish.

Barrel Draught from the jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 01/10/2005 Amber coloured and very hoppy with a fruity aroma. Slightly bitter finish.

(GABF05) Clear apple juice body with white head. Aroma is medium sweet, some pine/grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, pine, some grapefruit. Light-medium body. A milder sort of IPA, no surprise given the market.

on tap-pours a light tan head that laces and amber color. Aroma is orange/resin, secondary medium malt. Taste is orange/resin hops bite, secondary medium malt.

Growler. Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of earth, perfumy, spicy. Tastes of wildflowers, caramel and earthy with a sweet finish.

Draught. Pours amber with ruby highlights and a patchy off-white head. Fragrant floral and citrus hop, caramel malt (meal) aroma with trace yeast. Moderate to heavily bitter, medium acidic citrus rind hop lingering flavor, low sweetness. Medium bodied and fizzy, crisp, somewhat dry palate.

Draught. Low but lasting fluffy off-white head. Hazy bron body. Dry hops honey aroma. Salty hoppy flavor with high carbonation and a long aftertaste.
